I did read some of the footnotes. I noted that the footnotes quote sources I
would probably not consider authoritative. In view of the character of the
website, I therefore give no credence to the footnotes. Even if a website
quotes a source I would consider authoritative, it could easily misinterpret
it, making all the information about the source, except for the
bibliographical
information, useless.

I tried really hard to find where you got this equation. I quote an earlier
statement of yours:
> (e.g. Thutmosis III also known as Shisherke, ששק in Hebrew)
But Mr. Sweeney does not know a lot about Egyptian phonology.
The letter transcribed as Dj was transcribed into Hebrew as Sade.
This is the case with the city name Zoan: http://books.google.com/books?id=8Onqc1llLRoC&pg=PA39 (top)
The phrase Djeser-ka is transcribed as: D_SR-K3 as in the following: http://books.google.com/books?id=gMxfheT1XQIC&pg=PA337
It would be transcribed into Hebrew, I guess, as: "c$r-k)" צסרכא
And with the Re, צסרכארע.
If we compare even the mutilated transcription Shisherke, we find
a kaf where there should be a quf, and a r where there should be
no letter. We know of an nun being dropped before a consonant
but not of a resh. The only thing more similar that Shoshenq is
the -i- but have you checked the unvocalized spelling of Kings?
And this is not all! Thutmose III's throne name was not
Djeser-ke. It was Menkheperre. Djeser-ka-re was the
Horus name of Amenhotep I. Here are some references
on Thutmose III that I would accept as authoritative:
Cline and O'Connor's Thutmose III http://books.google.com/books?id=eqHKDKo3cVsC
Redford's The wars in Syria and Palestine of Thutmose III http://books.google.com/books?id=2uDdg8bDVzMC
So now, can you tell me how you got that Thutmose is
Shisherke? And how you got that Shoshenq cannot be
the Hebrew $W$Q?
